One of the most welcoming hotels I’ve ever been to. The hotel has two cats that you can occasionally see wandering around the lobby, which adds to that cozy atmosphere. The people at the lobby speak English and are very friendly. For our room on the second floor, there was a great view from the room, with the ability to cover up with curtains if you’d prefer. Overall, just a hotel with a friendly atmosphere.
